This book should be required reading for all Women's Studies courses, and indeed all history classes. Beautifully written, well-documented and intelligent re-writing of history from a feminist perspective, with valuable insight and factual information about the great matrilineal societies that once existed throughout the world. We can, and MUST reclaim our HERstory, and bannish the patriarchy, once-and-for-all, to its rightful place as a blurry memory of a dark moment in the distant past... the goddess IS alive, and MAGIC is afoot!
